When a conductor rotates in a constant magnetic field, a sinusoidal wave is generated.
When the conductor is moving parallel with
the lines of flux, no voltage is induced. When the loop is moving perpendicular to the lines of flux, the maximum voltage is induced.

• Generators convert rotational energy to electrical energy.
• The armature has an induced voltage, which is connected through slip rings and brushes to a load.
• The armature loops are wound on a magnetic core (not shown for simplicity).
AC generator (alternator)
Small alternators may use a permanent magnet
Others use field coils to produce the magnetic flux.

• In vehicles, alternators generate ac, which is converted to dc for operating electrical devices and charging the battery.
• AC is more efficient to produce and can be easily regulated, hence it is generated and converted to DC by diodes.

There are two major classifications of ac motors. 1. Induction motor 2. Synchronous motor. 3. Both types use a rotating field in the stator windings.
AC Motors
Induction motors work because current is induced in the rotor by the changing current in the stator. This current creates a magnetic field that reacts with the moving field of the stator, which develops a torque and causes the rotor to turn.
Synchronous motors have a magnet for the rotor. In small motors, this can be a permanent magnet, which keeps up with the rotating field of the stator. Large motors use an electromagnet in the rotor, with external dc supplied to generate the magnetic field.

Triangular and Sawtooth waves
Triangular and sawtooth waveforms are formed by voltage or current ramps (linear increase/decrease)
Triangular waveforms have positive-going and negative-going ramps of equal duration (same slope either increasing or decreasing).
The sawtooth waveform consists of two ramps, one of much longer duration than the other. (unequal slopes in either direction).
